With excellent folding-induced deformability and shape reconfigurability, origami-based designs have shown great potentials in developing deployable structures. Noting that origami deployment is essentially a dynamic process, while its dynamical behaviors remain largely unexplored owing to the challenges in modeling. This research aims at advancing the state of the art of origami deployable structures by exploring the transient dynamics under free deployment, with the Miura-origami tube being selected as the object of study because it possesses relatively simple geometry, exceptional kinematic properties, and wide applications. In detail, a preliminary free deployment test is performed, which indicates that the transient oscillation in the transverse direction is nonnegligible and the tube deployment is no longer a single-degree-of-freedom (SDOF) mechanism. Based on experimental observations, four assumptions are made for modeling purposes, and a 2N-DOF dynamic model is established for an N-cell Miura-origami tube to predict the transient oscillations in both the deploying and the transverse directions. Employing the settling times and the overshoot values as the transient dynamic indexes, a comprehensive parameter study is then carried out. It reveals that both the physical and geometrical parameters will significantly affect the transient deploying dynamics, with some of the parameter dependence relationships being counter-intuitive. The results show that the relationships between the transient dynamic behaviors and the examined parameters are sometimes contradictory in the deploying and the transverse directions, suggesting the necessity of a compromise in design.

Structures and/or materials with engineered functionality, capable of achieving targeted mechanical responses reacting to changes in external excitation, have various potential engineering applications, e.g. aerospace, oceanographic engineering, soft robot, and several others. Yet tunable mechanical performance is normally realized through carefully designing the architecture of structures, which is usually porous, leading to the complexity of the fabrication of the structures even using the recently emerged 3D printing technique. In this study we show that origami technique can provide an alternative solution to achieving the aim by carefully stacking the classical Miura sheets into the Miura-ori tube metamaterial and tuning the geometric parameters of the origami metamaterial. By combining numerical and experimental methods, we have demonstrated that an extremely broad range of natural frequency and dynamic response of the metamaterial can be achieved. The proposed structure can be easily fabricated from a single thin sheet made of one material and simultaneously owns better mechanical properties than the Miura sheet.

Nanoparticle (NP) are promising agents to absorb external energy excitation and generate heat. Cluster of NPs or NP array heating have found essential roles for biomedical applications, diagnostic techniques and chemical catalysis. Various studies ha ve shed light on the heat transfer of nanostructures and greatly advanced our understanding of NP array heating. However, there is a lack of analytical tools and dimensionless parameters to describe the transient heating of NP arrays. Here we demonstrate a comprehensive analysis of the transient NP array heating. Firstly, we developed analytical solution for the NP array heating and provide a useful mathematical description of the spatial-temporal evolution of temperature for 2D, 3D and spherical NP array heating. Based on this, we proposed the idea of thermal resolution that quantifies the relationship between minimal heating time, NP array size, energy intensity and target temperature. Lastly, we define a dimensionless parameter that characterize the transition from confined heating to delocalized heating. This study advances the in-depth understanding of nanomaterials heating and provides guidance for rationally designing innovative approaches for NP array heating.
Motivated by problems arising in the pneumatic actuation of controllers for micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS), labs-on-a-chip or biomimetic soft robots, and the study of microrheology of both gases and soft solids, we analyze the transient fluid --structure interaction (FSIs) between a viscoelastic tube conveying compressible flow at low Reynolds number. We express the density of the fluid as a linear function of the pressure, and we use the lubrication approximation to further simplify the fluid dynamics problem. On the other hand, the structural mechanics is governed by a modified Donnell shell theory accounting for Kelvin--Voigt-type linearly viscoelastic mechanical response. The fluid and structural mechanics problems are coupled through the tubes radial deformation and the hydrodynamic pressure. For small compressibility numbers and weak coupling, the equations are solved analytically via a perturbation expansion. Three illustrative problems are analyzed. First, we obtain exact (but implicit) solutions for the pressure for steady flow conditions. Second, we solve the transient problem of impulsive pressurization of the tubes inlet. Third, we analyze the transient response to an oscillatory inlet pressure. We show that an oscillatory inlet pressure leads to acoustic streaming in the tube, attributed to the nonlinear pressure gradient induced by the interplay of FSI and compressibility. Furthermore, we demonstrate an enhancement in the volumetric flow rate due to FSI coupling. The hydrodynamic pressure oscillations are shown to exhibit a low-pass frequency response (when averaging over the period of oscillations), while the frequency response of the tube deformation is similar to that of a band-pass filter.
High irradiance lasers incident on metal surfaces create a complex, dynamic process through which the metal can rapidly change from highly reflective to strongly absorbing. Absolute knowledge of this process underpins important industrial laser proce sses like laser welding, cutting, and metal additive manufacturing. Determining the time-dependent absorptance of the laser light by a material is important, not only for gaining a fundamental understanding of the light-matter interaction, but also for improving process design in manufacturing. Measurements of the dynamic optical absorptance are notoriously difficult due to the rapidly changing nature of the absorbing medium. This data is also of vital importance to process modelers whose complex simulations need reliable, accurate input data; yet, there is very little available. In this work, we measure the time-dependent, reflected light during a 10 ms laser spot weld using an integrating sphere apparatus. From this, we calculate the dynamic absorptance for 1070 nm wavelength light incident on 316L stainless steel. The time resolution of our experiment (< 1 us) allows for the determination of the precise conditions under which several important physical phenomena occur, such as melt and keyhole formation. The average absorptances determined optically were compared to calorimetrically-determined values, and it was found that the calorimeter severely underestimated the absorbed energy due to mass lost during the spot weld. Weld nugget cross-sections are also presented in order to verify our interpretation of the optical results, as well as provide experimental data for weld model validation.
In this letter, the transient behavior of a ferroelectric (FE) metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) capacitor is theoretically investigated with a series resistor. It is shown that compared to a conventional high-k dielectric MOS capacitor, a significant inversion charge-boost can be achieved by a FE MOS capacitor due to a steep transient subthreshold swing (SS) driven by the free charge-polarization mismatch. It is also shown that the observation of steep transient SS significantly depends on the viscosity coefficient under Landaus mean field theory, in general representing the average FE time response associated with domain nucleation and propagation. Therefore, this letter not only establishes a theoretical framework that describes the physical origin behind the inversion charge-boost in a FE MOS capacitor, but also shows that the key feature of depolarization effect on a FE MOS capacitor should be the inversion-charge boost, rather than the steep SS (e.g., sub-60mV/dec at room temperature), which cannot be experimentally observed as the measurement time is much longer than the FE response. Finally, we outlines the required material targets for the FE response in field-effect transistors to be applicable for next-generation high-speed and low-power digital switches.
